The Tzvelfth Annual Garden Exhibit for Brooklyn Boys and 

 Girls was held in the rotunda of the Laboratory building on Satur- 

 day and Sunday, September 26 and 27. The exhibit was open on 

 Friday afternoon, the 25th, for teachers with classes from Brook- 

 lyn schools. The judges were Mr. Van Evrie Kilpatrick, Direc- 

 tor of Nature Garden Work for New York City, Mr. Arthur 

 Dore, managing editor of the Brooklyn Citiccn, and Mr. Louis 

 Buhle, acting as alternate for Mrs. William H. Good, who was 

 unavoidably prevented from serving. The bronze tablet trophy, 

 for the best school vegetable display, was won for the third time 

 by Public School 109, and so became the property of the school. 

 The silver cup trophy for the best school flower display was won 

 for the third year by Public School 129, and so became the prop- 

 erty of that school. A bronze cup was awarded to Public School 

 yy for the best display of garden project work in connection with 

 the nature study of the school, and a second prize of four books 

 from the Nature Library to P. S. 89. Eleven school prizes of 

 nature books were awarded to other schools, 16 gold bronze medals 

 as first prizes to individuals, and 19 bronze medals as second prizes 

 were awarded to individuals. Twenty-three potted plants were 

 awarded to children receiving honorable mention. The prizes 

 were presented on October 24. 



These annual children's garden exhibits were part of a plan to 

 encourage children's gardening throughout the Borough of Brook- 

 lyn, and now that this work seems thoroughly established the need 

 of this encouragement has largely passed, and it has been decided 

 not to hold the exhibits at the Garden after this year.
